Under UK terrorism law it seems it is a lesser crime to bomb the King David Hotel in Palestine.
The attack did not change Britain’s stance toward an Anglo-American agreement on Palestine, which was then in its concluding phase.
You’re a good UK citizen if you cheer for ethnic cleansng and aparthied, and let your government pay for it
It’s spreading
Technically western Europe was the origin point
Maybe the real terrorists were the friends we made along the way
Greta Thunberg is my favorite terrorist
That’s a good t-shirt
Freedom fighter
Same. I fully support terrorism
This is what they are trying to do with antifa here in the USA. As if anti genocide or anti fascism is bad. 🙃
So if anti-genocide is
illanti-legal then the logical conclusion the government wants us to draw is?Thank you police for protecting us from this obvious danger /s
“Thunberg, 22, was earlier arrested under the Terrorism Act for holding a sign that said “I support the Palestine Action prisoners. I oppose genocide”. The British government has proscribed Palestine Action as a terrorist group.”
The group uses direct action to disrupt the UK arms industry, which it accuses of being complicit with Israel in conducting a genocide. Palestine Action have mounted 45 documented direct actions in the United Kingdom.
“We are concerned at the unjustified labelling of a political protest movement as ‘terrorist’,” the experts said. “According to international standards, acts of protest that damage property, but are not intended to kill or injure people, should not be treated as terrorism.”
The Government asserts that the group is “terrorist” because some members have allegedly caused criminal damage to property, including at military bases and arms companies, with the aim of progressing its political cause and influencing the Government."
They threw paint on some military equipment. Claiming “criminal property damage” is quite the slanted representation of reality.
Not terrorism
The paint was inside a jet engine so it wouldn’t work. Property was damaged.
However, the planes experienced no terror.
Threw paint in the engine, and went at the plane with crowbars.
Besides, the main incident for which it was proscribed involved a policewoman being badly injured in a brutal sledgehammer attack, to the extent her spine still hasn’t recovered enough to return to work over a year later.
None of what you describe is terrorism. The proscription is a disgrace, built upon a disgrace.
Surely deliberately causing injury with a political goal is terrorism?
Man Thunberg has been chronically based since she hit the centre stage. No wonder Thiel thinks shes the antichrist.
Theil thinks everything he doesn’t like is the antichrist. He thinks the Antichrist’s message is “peace and safety” and to enforce the stagnation of technological and scientific progress. International financial bodies restricting the ability to hide wealth are the Antichrist. Etc.
Yes, hes an unhinged fuckmonster of a man. But he also does think Thunberg specifically is the antichrist incarnate.
She’s the hero we need
Agreed the hero we should aspire ourselves to be like.
Even if you’d do one thousands of what she does it would be incredible for humanity.
I aspire to one day be awesome enough that Peter Thiel thinks I’m the antichrist.
Wait, when did she get freed from Israel? I thought they’d captured her, never heard about her getting out.
She was released fairly quickly. But there was alleged abuse that happened during which I would bet my left nut is 100 percent true.
May your left nut grow and prosper.
…but not too much or else you should get that checked 😂
I read this as let his nut glow and phosphor.
I wish my nut glowed like that
“Nut glow and phosphor” is one of the less popular items on the Cheesecake Factory menu.
Available in all 53 states for a reason.
She was released and had stories of abuse/torture while in captivity.
Not sure why the headline says arrested when the story is that she was released from the arrest from earlier this week.
Most people get released after they get arrested
Not sure but a lot of people are released after being arrested. Some are on bail or just plain free until a court date. Others get their charges dropped. They were all arrested though. This is particular notable because it shouldn’t be considered illegal. The government shouldn’t be able to skirt precedence when declaring a group a terrorist org.
Somehow this will end up the democrats fault.
Relevance?
It’s called a joke.
Jokes are funny.
They’re funnier when you understand them.
Honestly its time to admit you just said a bad joke and move on.
No, it’s time to admit that a lot of people on lemmy are uptight about being called out. You see, the joke was that everything bad that happened to Palestine is blamed on “the dems”.
That it’s downvoted doesn’t mean it’s a bad joke, it just means I unintentionally hit a nerve.
Honestly, maybe it’s time to admit it bothered you and move on. Because that’s a LOT of effort to let someone know you didn’t like their joke.
Dude your being called out about a joke and it bothered you and your crashing out… your kidding right?
